 Big Sea Wall Now Building.
 Notwithstanding the "dry spelr' and the dust none of the suburbs or environs of New Haven are more visited daily by many of our stylish city teams than Savin Rock. On Beach street daily in the afternoons hne teams are constantly passing, carrying peo- pie of wealth and leisure or business men with portions of their families, or young couples to whom "life's young dream" is all roseate with joy. The horse cars to the Rock these pleasant afternoons no longer run empty, and in few days the rush of travel to the shore will begin in earnest. The null titude of cottages begin to look less deserted Here and there they show signs of being in habited. Among those occupying cottages at the shore are Messrs. J. Gardner Clark and Cleveland s. Thompson, of this city, they being located in the same places they have occupied fer several summers. Mir. and Mrs. Samuel l.. Marsden are temporarily occupying the larger of their cot tages, and are making @ very hand some improvement by the erection of an artistic gothic summer house in the rear, latticed and widowed and overlooking the sea, the waves at high water breaking at the strongly spilled foundations MT. Joseph Andrews, the West Haven builder, is erect ing it, and right skillfully in his accustomed style of performing his work. MT. Marsden has rented his cottage for the summer to Mr. Traut, a well known New Britain gentle man, who will occupy it in the latter part of June, and has rented the other cottage to Attorney George A. Tyler, of this city, who In 4yrya AAr oYO6 Mrs. Marsden have spent six or eight sum mers at the shore in unbroken succession and contemplate making foreign trip this summer of some duration.
 Various of the cottage owners are putting in the city water. Mr. Parmelee, the Mathu- shek piano manufacturer, has taken cot tage and removed his family into it. It is the Ives cottage and has good barn in the rear. New flower beds blooming with pan sies have just been added. Mrs. Ives and daughter will occupy their handsome home on Fair Haven Heights this summer. MT. Charles Atwater, treasurer of the New Ha- ven and Derby railroad, takes the Blake cot tage nearly opposite the Ives cottage. Miss Annie, daughter of MT. Atwater, is to be married in June to Mr. Daggett, son of Dr. David L. Daggett of this city, and whose brother is also a physician here. The bride is a sister of Mrs. Emily Gardner, wife of MT. Guy Gardner, who is in business in Australia, whence young Dag gett, the bridegroom elect, returned not long ago, after quite stay there. Mrs. Gardner in the fail goes to Australia to re- join her husband.
 Rev. Mir. Samson and family are very pleasantly ensconced in the H. P. Hubbard cottage. MT. Samson makes a fishing ex- cursion this morning on one of the large City Point steam dredgers by special invita- tion of the proprietor, and to witness the op eration of conveying the luscious bivalves from the bottom of "the big sea water'' to the deck of the steamer.
 A the shore, between Howes' and Kelsey's wharf, the work of improvement conducted under the auspices of the horse railroad com pany, attracts the attention of all passers that way. A heavy sea wall is being laid about one hundred feet out on the sand beach from the company's tracks. The in- tervening space will be filled in with earth and then the company will have dozen or more building lots for shore cottages.
 MT. George R. Kelsey, whose important business relations and enterprises have done 80 much to promote the interests of West Ha- ven and develop the shore property at Say in Rock, is able to be out and attend to his business interests, though his health still re- mains considerably impeired.
